Yoga Teacher Training Packing List – Part IV of the YTT Series

I am leaving for yoga teacher training in 2 days. My bags are packed, and I am all ready to go. I have quite a bit of experience packing for long trips, but I’ve never been to a yoga teacher training before, so I spent a long time thinking about what to bring, and created a messy, long, detailed list. I am sharing the entirety of that list, in all its intimacy, on here for anyone to read who maybe needs some help for their yoga teacher training.

This list will look different depending on your circumstances. To give you some perspective, I will be spending two months in Bali, one on the yoga teacher training, and one travelling with my boyfriend. The temperatures never dip below 23 degree, but it can get wet.

I will be editing this list once I have returned, to add or remove items.

Disclaimer: If this seems entirely boring and irrelevant, just skip it – no harsh feelings. Not everyone is as pedantic about packing as I am – I sure as hell scoured the internet for yoga teacher training packing lists 😉

Miscellaneous

Kindle (on my first backpacking trip I carried paperback books and it was a disaster. Books are my babies, and I like to keep them, but I couldn’t fit more than 10 books in my backpack and it was also way too heavy. Kindles are a lifesaver for traveling!)

Camera

Disposable camera

Disposable underwater camera

Medicine kit

Microfleece towel

Toiletries

Toothpaste & brush

Bug spray

Sun screen

Face wash & cream

Razor and spare blades
Lush shampoo bar

Mascara for when I want to be fancy

Concealer and compact powder

Baby powder

Moon cup – better for me and the environment

For some, this might seem excessive, for others, it might seem too little. For me, it seems oddly perfect.

Make sure you check out the updated version upon my return and give the previous parts a read!

Leaving for my TTC in India next week and finding your list super helpful. I usually tend to (massively) overpack! Let’s be honest, I will buy lots of colorful shirts and harem pants in India that I will never wear back home in Germany 😀
